    editor,
         You can find language pollution whenever you open a newspaper or turn on your TV set, listen to a
    popular song at various advertisements. Language pollution exists almost everywhere and can be seen in
    the following places:
         1. Chinese characters are written in the complex (复杂的 ) form. Although simplified Chinese
    characters were accepted for use many years ago, it seems that more and more people like Chinese
    characters written in the complex form.
         2. Many goods are produced in China but carry foreign names, which sound strange and have no
    meaning at all.
         3. Words and expressions being used have a bad meaning. "Ba"(霸), which means bully in Chinese,
    is one example. Now there are a lot of goods, restaurants, even factories or firms, with "Ba" in their
    names.
         4. There are too many incorrect grammatical expressions. Some films have strange names and
    incorrect grammatical structures. "Ai ni mei shang liang', which means "I love you without consulting",
    is grammatically incorrect and this kind of expression is now becoming popular.
          Some language experts point out that language pollution must be done away with, which is an idea
    shared by myself and many others.

    　　Social networking websites are causing alarming changes in the brains of young users, a famous scientist has warned．Sites such as Facebook, Twitter and Bebo are said to shorten attention spans(幅度), encourage instant satisfaction and make children more self-centered．

    　　Warnings from neuroscientist(神经系统科学家)Susan Greenfield will disturb the millions whose social lives depend on surfing their favorite websites each day．But they will strike a chord(弦)with parents and teachers who complain that many teenagers lack the ability to communicate or concentrate away from their screens．

    　　More than 150 million use Facebook to keep in touch with friends, share photographs and videos and post regular updates of their movements and thoughts．A further six million have signed up to Twitter, the "micro-blogging" service that lets users exchange text messages about themselves．But while the sites are popular and extremely profitable, a growing number of psychologists and neuroscientists believe they may be doing more harm than good．

    　　Baroness Tarot, an Oxford University neuroscientist believes repeated exposure could rewire the brain．Computer games and fast-paced TV shows were also a factor, she said．"My fear is that these technologies are weakening the brain to the state of small children who are attracted by buzzing noises and bright lights, who have a small attention span and live for the moment．" "I often wonder whether real conversation in real time may eventually give way to these easier and faster screen dialogues, in much the same way as killing and butchering an animal to eat has been replaced by the convenience of packages on the supermarket shelf," she said．

    　　Psychologists have also argued that digital technology is changing the way we think．They point out that students no longer need to plan their term papers before starting to write－thanks to word processors they can edit as they go along．

    　　A study by the Broadcaster Audience Board found teenagers now spend seven and a half hours a day in front of a screen．Educational psychologist Jane Healy believes children should be kept away from computer games until they are seven．Most games only excite the "flight or fight" areas of the brain, rather than the areas responsible reasoning．

    　　Sue Palmer, author of Toxic Childhood, said："We are seeing children's brain development damaged because they don't engage in the activity they have engaged in for thousands of years．I'm not against technology and computers．But before they start social networking, they need to learn to make real relationships with people．"

    四、阅读理解（共16小题；每小题2分，满分32分）

    You Mi, a lovely and confident 17-year-old student, is the first Chinese high school student to appear on the cover of the popular young adults’ fashion magazine Seventeen.

         “You is IN,” said Wang Lihua, Editor-in-Chief of Seventeen. “She is active and mature(成熟的) because of her knowledge on everything from academic studies, to books on art, to movies. We found she’s the very style we’re looking for to represent young people’s attitudes.”

        You also impressed Wang with her fluent English when they first met last year. As the hostess of an English broadcasting programme at the High School Affiliated to Renmin University, You is always praised for speaking English almost like a native speaker. “I’ve built up my English by watching thousands of English DVDs since I was 10,” she explained.

        But for You, watching isn’t enough. Last year, while in Senior 1, she met a talented boy who showed self-made DV movies at the English Corner in her school.

       　“I thought it was so cool and I knew that I should start making my own films,” she said. So she wrote a campus(校园) story, persuaded schoolmates to star in it and then began shooting a 30-minute DV movie, all in English. “I played one of the leading roles, actually I was everything in my film. I worked on it every single day during the SARS holidays,” she recalled. The movie finally became a big hit on campus, earning You a strong reputation(名气) as a DV movie director.

    　　But this is not the only field she wants to master. Despite being a science student, You likes art, literature and fashion design very much.

      　“There are people who can be artists, there are people who edit books, and there are people who become film producers. But I just hope to mix all the things up!” she said. “There is an old saying I believe: Chance favours only the prepared mind.”

    1. You Mi’s fluent English is based on _____.

        A. her chance to host an English broadcasting programme

        B. the influence of her parents

        C. her deep interest in it

        D. her making DV movie

    2. The author mentioned a talented boy to show _____.

        A. the great influence he had on You Mi

        B. he was admired by his schoolmates

        C. the young can do things as well as the adults do

        D. self-made DV movies are popular at school

    3.In the 30-minute DV movie, You Mi didn’t act as a(n) _____.

         A. director            B. musician         C. actress             D. producer

    4. We can learn from the passage that _____.

    　　A. You Mi hopes to be a mixed talent

    　　B. the success of a 30-minute DV movie shocked You Mi

    　　C. You Mi dreams of becoming a scientist

    　　D. the outbreak of SARS delayed You Mi’s studies
